By Cecily Mauran on October 13, 2022 Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on Twitter (opens in a new window) Share on Flipboard (opens in a new window) What's next for Netflix? Credit: Getty Images -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tech > Tech Industry Ads will soon dot the previously unblemished content on Netflix. On Thursday, the streaming giant officially announced a lower-priced subscription plan with ads. The plan, called Basic with Ads, will cost $6.99 a month, and will launch in the U.S. in November. Here are the details of the announcement: * Basic with Ads will cost just $6.99 a month in the U.S. and launch on November 3 at 9 a.m. PT. * Basic with Ads will be available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the U.S. * Current plans and members will not be impacted. Basic with Ads is an additional option to Netflix's existing ad-free Basic ($9.99), Standard ($15.49) and Premium ($19.99) plans. SEE ALSO: Netflix deal with BARB is about ratings, not 'Stranger Things' An ad-supported plan on Netflix has been expected for some time. This past April, co-CEO Reed Hastings said the company would be looking into this as an option, and a few months later, co-CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed an ad-supported tier was happening during an interview with Sway podcast host Kara Swisher. It's no surprise that Netflix is looking for ways to target and retain new customers. In 2022 alone, Netflix lost one million subscribers. Jacking up its subscription prices and cracking down on password-sharing has pushed many a Netflix subscriber to their limit. Plus, the streaming landscape is incredibly cutthroat, with heavy-hitters like Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu offering diverse streaming options and cheaper or similar subscription prices. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED STORIES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * NFL+ streaming service review: Still can't beat old-fashioned TV * Amazon's NFL games will give us a real idea of live streaming's popularity * What the HBO Max and Discovery+ merger means for your favorite streaming service Netflix has been the last bastion of ad-free streaming, but it's clear that its subscription-based model is unsustainable.
